Sabres going to stomp all over this team.

Might not win until Thursday, or November..

Eric Comrie is rocking a .930 SV% on a Buffalo team that's giving up an average of 40+ shots a game. This against Edmonton, Calgary and Florida.

They are just primed for a let down game!

 

[RutherPlan]

That's the odd thing about the start of the season, bottom dwelling teams outperform for a little while and then fall off a steep cliff.

Buffalo right now is having a Travis Green dream start of the season, winning games when they are being clearly dominated and getting every puck bounce in their favor.

This is a loss for buffalo. Fluked out a few wins only to get brought down by our shit team. Looking forward to laughing at their fans after we win.

 

[Pastor Of Muppetz]

This could be a let down game...This isnt the Buffalo Sabres that we've become accustomed to the last decade, these guys are going to be a handful..A lot of team speed that forces turnovers left and right..Flames board saying that the Sabres were full value for their win last night.

The Sabres probably caught a few teams off guard, not taking them seriously enough, ...Hopefully the Canucks are ready for this one.

It always feels when one player bounces back another player slumps. Our best players never click at the same time.

 

[VanJack]

Canucks home opener, and already ton of pressure on the NHL's only 'winless team'. If the score gets out of hand, things could turn ugly from the stands. The faithful are in a surly mood already.

 

[Baby Pettersson]

Nucks secure first win of the season. First home game i expect the boys to properly show up.

 

[rypper]

Let's spin the "Wheel of scratch" prior to game time to see who's sitting out.

Owen Power is getting his first versus us though.

I think they win this.

I hope they do.

I got disappointed twice for the game vs Minny.

1st when I thought I spoiled the game via my phone downloading (and telling me it downloaded) an episode of a podcast that had a tittle like "Vancouver @ Minnesota 4-3..."

So I was watching the game thinking they win it... then it was MINNY who scores in OT.

 

[supercanuck]

To be honest...whether this is a W or an L depends completely on which Demko shows up.

 

[Peter Griffin]

Another loss. This team won't win a game until November.

 

[credulous]

team is due for a dead cat bounce. i think they pull out a win here

 

[rypper]

Bruce hinting at Rathbone getting into the lineup.

Buffalo has been full value in their wins. They are looking like they are legitimately taking a step this year. And Comrie is legit.

 

[MS]

Bruce hinting at Rathbone getting into the lineup.

He's been waiting for ... the guy he was playing ahead of him to get hurt right before the home opener so he has no choice but to play Rathbone?

Canucks: J.T. Miller isn't ready to hit the panic button

In the chaos of a road trip from hell, with nothing working for him individually and his team unable to close out wins despite holding a third period lead five games in a row, J.T. Miller insists he's doing OK.

theprovince.com

Just making sure everyone reads how our $8 million man thinks he's been playing this year.

This is the kind of leadership we want in the locker room? Are you f***ing kidding me?

How can you possibly think you've "not given up much there" when you're minus f***ing 5 and it's been 5 games?

 

[Aphid Attraction]

Im still holding hope that the go on a winning run. I know popular opinion is we suck but if Hughes and Millet play 10 percent better might be all it takes.

And if it happens we should trade Miller when we don’t need to.

 

[Peen]

There’s a lot that I don’t like about JT, but self-accountability when speaking to the media was never one of them.

That is a shocking comment

It's stunningly oblivious and arrogant.

 

[racerjoe]

Have we given up the lead yet?

This guy may as well go bald and wear #11 tomorrow night.
